Hi,
I noticed that my ssd on my asustor nas is slowly dying, relocated sector increasing and in the near future i have to replace the ssd.
Now i have made trough the years a few playlists i like to keep and i wonder if its possible to save then and if they will be useable again when the new ssd is been installed.
Just wondering..
Are these playlists stored as .m3u or .m3u8 files in your music library or were they created using your control point app?

Created by control point app -Bubbleds.
These should be OK if you make an exact copy of your MinimServer library on the new SSD. It is also advisable to keep the local IP address of the NAS the same if possible.
Ok, thats clear.. i use a fixed ip for nas and streamer anyway.
I considering to buy 2 2T ssd instead of 1 4T now.
Would that be not a issue?
Thanks for the help and support!
Using a larger SSD is fine if you make an exact copy of your MinimServer library on the new SSD.
Hi, all went well, bought a ssd with the same size..
Just a question about the playlists..i been playing around with transcoding and instead of "flac to wav" i tried "flac to wav24", but i see that my stored playlists stays with "flac to wav" is there something wrong or just normal behaviour? Selecting from the library it works fine..
The transcoding setting is part of the stream URL. This means if your stored playlists use stream URLs (for example, BubbleUPnP does this), you will not get the correct transcoding setting when you change this setting.
The solution is to create server-side playlists stored as .m3u files. These don't use stream URLs and will automatically use the current transcoding setting if this changes.
Hi Simoncn,
As this is all new to me, how do you create a m3u playlist to be used at bubbleds on my Asustor nas, is there a user guide guide to do this?
Thanks for the clarification..
You can create a .m3u playlist using a text editor. The .m3u file is just a list of file paths. The file paths can be absolute or relative (relative is preferable). For some examples, see
this forum post.
If you have a Windows PC, you can create .m3u playlists using a tool that supports "drag and drop." For details, see
this forum post.
